Regional : Strengthening the Asia Pacific Public Electronic Procurement Network (Phase 2)
The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) is a follow-up to the successfully implemented TA for an Asia Pacific Public Electronic Procurement Network and to phase 1 of the TA for Strengthening the Asia Pacific Public Electronic Procurement Network. This TA will further support cooperation between the developing member countries (DMCs) of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) and with other regional procurement networks, including the Inter-American Network on Government Procurement. It will continue to support the implementation of electronic government procurement (e-GP), including assessments of e-GP systems, security audits, procurement, contract management, use of artificial intelligence, and machine learning.

| Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy | The rapid digitalization of government services by most ADB DMCs requires benchmarking with best practices, which annual knowledge sharing events and conferences can help achieve. ADB is called upon to provide knowledge support to DMCs' integrated digital government agendas, and their efforts to maintain highly performing, sustainable, efficient, and transparent government procurement systems. The TA will therefore contribute to the continuing improvement of institutional governance in ADB DMCs. |
